A large portion of our population is learning how to go “GREEN.” Going “GREEN” is when you take all the necessary steps in order to make your carbon footprint on this earth smaller. There are many different things that you can do in order to help preserve our environment.
Purchase a Smaller Home
If you are in the market to buy a new home there are a few things that you might want to consider before you sign on the dotted line. Purchasing a smaller home has many advantages that you may not have ever thought about. When you purchase a smaller home you will save thousands of dollars a year on electricity and heating cost. You can take this extra money and put it into a savings account for your children. With a smaller house there is also a smaller debt and tax bill to pay. By cutting six to seven hundred square feet off of your new house you can save ten thousand dollars a year in mortgage and tax payments.
Change Your Light bulbs
Changing your light bulbs in your home is also a good way to help preserve the environment. You should change your light bulbs to florescent bulbs and try to put them throughout your entire home. The cost of florescent bulbs is slightly higher than regular bulbs but florescent bulbs can last up to seven years.
